About
-----
The theme for this Ludum Dare was "10 Seconds". My interpretation of the theme was to have a game which consists of 3 separate subgames, and player control switches between them every 10 seconds. Items collected in one subgame may be used (rightfully or wrongfully) in another subgame. Meanwhile, the player is plagued by ghosts, and must avoid them at all costs. Since death in one subgame means death in them all.

The switching makes the game both interesting and challenging, as you have to remember both what you were doing, and where the dangers lurk. And iIt can take a couple of seconds after switching to get your bearings again. It is quite challenging trying to plan ahead, to avoid running head into trouble when the game switches back.

I hope you enjoy playing my game, as I've certainly enjoyed making it :D

Updates
-------
26/08: Fixed what I believe to be the cause of the terrible lag experienced by some users.
26/08: Fixed an issue where some doors (at random) fail to open correctly, leading to the game being unwinnable.
26/08: Fixed a non-terminating loop which occurs when the player wins the game, causing the game to hang.
